We are pleased to have hosted the 15th session of our Political Economy Teach-In Series, “,Antipatriarchal Community Feminism”, on 20 August 2024 with Adriana Guzmán.

Adriana Guzmán Arroyo is a leading figure in Anti-Patriarchal Community Feminism in Bolivia. She is recognised by social organisations for her studies and political experience in Popular Education, Educational Sciences and Feminism, tools that strengthen the energy of Community Feminism. She was part of the social movements that confronted the gas massacre in 2003 and served as the National Executive Spokesperson for Community Feminism in Bolivia. She has authored books on issues related to Community Feminism, Decoloniality, Patriarchy, Buen Vivir, and everyday life.

All our sessions are recorded and you can access the previous ones on our website. The videos are in the original version, though we will be working to provide translated transcripts in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese to reach a wider audience.
